Undeletable folder staged-xpis

Submitted by Crazytales on March 12, 2007 - 3:45pm

There's something up with my FxPortable. It was in the process of restarting to install Google Toolbar, when the flash drive lost the USB connection somehow. So I plugged it in at another computer, and all seemed well. Not so when I browsed through the extensions folder. The staged-xpis folder under that reports file size as 184GB (my flash drive is only 1GB) and is undeletable. The staged-xpis folder contains a lot of files with garbage filenames and huge filesizes.

Changing icon in titlebar

Submitted by fireuser on March 11, 2007 - 11:39pm

I'm using the latest version of Firefox Portable, and I've followed the instructions for changing the titlebar icon (create a new folder in chrome called icons, then inside that create default, then main-window.ico should be the the new icon), but they didn't work. There are like 5 different chrome folders, and I've tried them all together, and each one separate, still no luck. Has anyone changed the icon in the titlebar successfully; how'd you do it? Or, does anyone know of an extension that could do the same thing for me? Thanks

Image downloading again after full load?

Submitted by gesaugen on March 9, 2007 - 5:30am

Hi ppl!
I have problem with Firefox portable while saving images from the net. While surfing, when I choose to open image in full and it loads in the screen completely, then I choose "save image as" on it, Firefox portable sends it in downloads so I have to wait for image to get downloaded again! (in normal Firefox, when full image is loaded completely, choosing "save as" will save it to chosen location instantly because the image is already downloaded in Firefox's cache)

I use Firefox portable, with MSN.com as my homepage, which has worked great until today. But when I tried to log on this morning I got the following message.
The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.

The connection was reset

* The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
moments.
* If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
connection.
* If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

Permanent TEMP installation

Submitted by giovanni on March 8, 2007 - 4:48am

Hello,

Our company distributes interactive CDs with a web-based navigation.
We checked out Firefox Portabel a couple of month ago and tested its features. Especially we liked the fact that we could give our clients a 100% compatible browser that would display our content optimally that would not require additional installation by the user or the existence of another browsing software.

The version we tested copied and LEFT the browser in der TEMP folder in Windows. On our last-check, the version was removed every time, so the whole thing loades slower.

Firefox issues, formhistory.dat file undeleteable

Submitted by kmank on March 7, 2007 - 12:23pm

Can anyone tell me if there are issues with removing Firefox?

A few days ago I started having issues with Firefox not being able to complete certain tasks - sending form submissions, etc. So I thought I would remove portable FF and reinstall the again. After backing up my bookmarks, I tried to simple delete the PortableFirefox folder. However, I can delete everything but the following file:
PortableApps\FirefoxPortable\Data\profile\formhistory.dat

Actually, I can delete it, but when I refresh Explorer, it "magically" reappears.

Firefox resets on some computers

Submitted by reddeye on March 7, 2007 - 12:01pm

I've been using Firefox Portable for a few months now, and it works on my home computers and work computer (I have admin rights on both), but when I take it to school and use it on their computers (where I don't have admin rights) it resets. It keeps all my extensions but resets them like I've never used them before, removes either all of some of my bookmarks, and resets the theme to default. Has anybody experienced this or have any solutions? Thanks in advance for any help.

How to handle 2 profiles

Submitted by MaverikCH on March 7, 2007 - 9:33am

Hi there

I got two profiles a private and a office one. i tried to handle it with a pfofiles.ini but as already mentioned here, there is no profile manager though it wont work.

Hoped there would be some settings possiblity in an ini file that would ask to run profile 1 or 2 with a small dialog.

In another Thread you wrote there would be no request for an own programed profile manager.

any idea how i may handle my wish? Smile
